A stunning concert to round off the JMS concert season will feature the dazzling Polina Osetinskaya this coming Sunday, 22 November.

Beautiful and supremely gifted, Ms Osetinskaya made her debut as a child prodigy in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory playing a Mozart piano concerto. Since then, her career has taken her to almost every important platform in Europe and America.

With a repertoire that spans early masters such as Bach and Scarlatti, through the classical and romantic eras – and also into the twentieth century – this Moscow-born pianist has been acclaimed. From New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Barbican in London, from the important musical platforms of Europe, her name is synonymous with uniquely stylish and sensitive performances. This is her very first visit to South Africa.

Polina Osetinskaya, who has been recorded on labels as varied as Naxos, Melodiya and Quartz, also has many philanthropic interests with which she is deeply involved. Like many Russian artists who have made their political opinions known, she has been ‘çancelled’ by the Russian state. But in Europe, where she has now made her home, she partners some of the most well-known instrumentalists and performs under the batons of the most eminent conductors.

Her programme at 15.00 in the Linder Auditorium on Sunday 22 November includes works by Bach, Beethoven, Cesar Franck and Rachmaninov and will prove a dazzling close to the Johannesburg Musical Society’s 2027 Season.

Tickets can be booked at Quicket. The Linder box office opens at 14:00 on the day.
